223771 2nd Lt. John Brian Cother Royal Artillery 72nd Field Regiment from:Dorothy Road, Hove, Sussex (d.5th Aug 1941) Brian Cother was the middle child of three born to William and Kathleen Cother. He was the one who achieved much in his school days, gaining a scholarship to Brighton, Hove and Sussex Grammar School, excelling in rifle shooting, and opera. He was the lead singer in many of the operas during his years at the school. He is mentioned on the memorial window in the great hall of the now 6th form school. Brian as he was known to all, was a friendly person, who loved outdoor activities such as climbing, walking etc. He joined up at the young age of 24 and I am still attempting to get more details of his life, apart from recently discovered that he travelled from the UK by sea to Egypt then to Cyprus. He was only on that island a short time before as he drove his motor cycle out of the main gate, he went head first into the front of a truck, entering the gates. I am still researching his life to complete his autobiography. He is buried at the Nicosia War Cemetery, Cyprus. After his death his parents grieved their loss for several years. I only knew Brian as a photo on our piano. Please type your message:      We recommend you copy the text about this item and keep a copy on your own computer before pressing submit.
